Editing AGAG (section)

===CIA and NATO Coordination===
	AGAG was established with CIA and MI6 support, similar to other Gladio branches like Austria’s OeWSGV and Switzerland’s P-26. Funding and equipment, including weapons and communication systems, were provided through CIA channels, with coordination via NATO’s Clandestine Planning Committee (CPC) and Allied Clandestine Committee (ACC).
	The network’s training by U.S. Green Berets and British SAS mirrors Gladio’s standardized protocols, seen in countries like Germany (BDJ-TD) and Italy. Arms caches, a hallmark of Gladio, were established across Sweden, though specific locations remain largely undisclosed.

	AGAG’s primary mission was to prepare for Soviet invasion, but it also monitored and countered internal communist threats, particularly during the 1950s when the SKP was seen as a potential Soviet proxy. This aligns with Gladio’s broader goal of suppressing nationalist movements, as seen in Italy’s “strategy of tension” or Turkey’s Counter-Guerrilla operations.
	Unlike Gladio branches in NATO countries, AGAG operated under Sweden’s neutral policy, requiring greater secrecy to avoid violating the 1955 Austrian State Treaty’s principles, which Sweden mirrored in its neutrality stance.
